On September 11, KBS 1TV revealed their decision to broadcast Rise and EunB last performance with Ladies Code 'Open Concert' with no editing. The girls took part in the recording back on September 2 before the tragic car accident. In the end, KBS decided to keep the performance in 'Open Concert' when it airs on September 14.

The production crew stated, "We carefully discussed whether we should broadcast Ladies' Code after their two precious colleagues left the world following a tragic car accident at daybreak on September 3 with this being their last performance. We respected the bereaved family and the agency's views that they would like the stage in which the deceased did their best to the very end to be prettily broadcasted, so we decided to show it as originally planned."

According to eariler report from Soompi, Ladies’ Code recently got into an accident on September 3 following the recording for “Open Concert,” which took place the night before. This performance will be their last as a whole group, including the late EunBand RiSe.

Meanwhile, the accident took place at 1:30 am on September 3 on a highway in Incheon. As they were driving in the rain they slipped as a tire fell out. Consequently, they hit a wall on the road. Member EunB passed away immediately, and RiSe received surgery despite being in critical condition. She passed away four days later without regaining consciousness. Member Sojung also received surgery for facial fractures and is currently recovering. Ashley and Zuny also received hospital care after sustaining some minor injuries.

My thoughts

It was indeed a heartbreaking tragic news for all their fans. It must be terrible for the families and friends of the decease. Super Junior Heechul had tweet about his thoughts about this incident and urged everyone to remember to put on the seat belt when traveling on the road. Especially since celebrities usually have to travel around to perform. Super Junior and some celebrities were seen paying their respect during the funeral. Rest in peace EunB and RiSe.
